ADL 420817 - Notice of Decision for Public Access Easement Amendment

This public notice announces a decision by the Alaska Department of Natural Resources (DNR), Division of Mining, Land and Water (DMLW) to amend an existing public access easement (ADL 420817) originally granted to San Diego State University. The amendment changes the easement term from a 25‑year term to “in perpetuity,” transfers the easement recipient from the university to the DNR, and removes prior survey requirements. The easement is located near the Ivotuk airstrip in the North Slope Borough and covers a defined parcel of state land. The document outlines extensive stipulations governing use, maintenance, environmental protection, public access, waste disposal, indemnification, and compliance with state and federal regulations. No competitive bidding or contract award process is involved; the amendment is a unilateral agency action. • Amendment converts the easement to a perpetual term. • Ownership/recipient shifts to the State of Alaska (DNR). • Survey requirements are eliminated. • Detailed obligations for the “Entryperson” (the party using the easement) regarding site disturbance, waste handling, historic preservation, and indemnification. • Contact for questions: Megan Byers ([email protected], (907) 269‑8709).
